About usThe Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering aims to foster

engineers capable of creating new urban environments, analyzing urban spaces by employing a social-science approach, and bequeathing the earth science-based study of natural environments to future generations.

For this purpose, our department offers two courses: “Urban Environment Design” and “Urban Planning”. Students enrolled in Urban Environment Design study natural science, such as applied mathematics, fluid dynamics, and soil mechanics, in order to analyze natural phenomena and train to become urban environment designers. Students who select Urban Planning, on the other hand, learn knowledge of law, administration, finance, etc., which will be of help in planning cities and improving urban lives.

Our department has three characteristic curricula that: (1) provide seminars for teaching design skill and related knowledge; (2) offer tours of construction sites and internship programs to encourage work experience; and, (3) involve lectures for senior graduates in order to introduce the newest technologies and issues. Through these curricula, students become great professional engineers that can improve urban designs and human lives.

About usIn the Department of Precision Mechanics, students study a wide range of

basic knowledge and technologies in the field of precision mechanical engineering. Precision machinery industries, an area of strong expertise in Japan, require high levels of precision and manufacturing technologies. Through the pursuit of high precision, we seek machines with high performance and, consequently, new potentiality.

Our department pursues “preciseness” in the technical domains of precision machinery through research activities. Each laboratory addresses issues in various academic domains of precision mechanical engineering from broad perspectives. In particular, about one-third of the professors perform research on robotic technologies, focusing on “diversification” and “intelligence”, such as robots based on unique principles that mimic living creatures or robots that cooperate with humans. Their active research is reported in international and domestic societies on robotics.

More than ten thousand students have graduated from our department since its establishment sixty years ago. Thanks to the high reputation of our alumni, we receive about 3,000 job offers every year. Our research activities enable students to acquire problem finding and problem solving skills from a global viewpoint that will become lifetime skills in any field of engineering. In this era of rapid changing, these are requisites for a leading engineer who can sensitively detect changes in global environments and find essential issues and solutions.

At the Department of Applied Chemistry we offer education and research opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students who are interested in and wish to study chemistry and related sciences . We cover various aspects of chemistry, from the basics to cutting-edge science and technology, including nanotechnology, environmental research, synthesis of new materials and catalysts, biological applications, drug discovery, and chemical engineering. Our department was established in 1953 and already has more than 9,000 alumni who have become researchers or engineers in various professions related to chemistry. One of our alumni is Prof. Hachiro Sugimoto, the researcher who developed the first treatment for Alzheimer's disease and who won the Special GALIEN Prize in the UK in 1998.

The main focus of our undergraduate education is on the basic concepts of physical, inorganic and organic chemistry, and chemical engineering. The deep understanding students gain becomes useful for research assignments that students begin in each lab during their 4th year. Many undergraduate students at our department go on to our graduate school to continue their work on their research projects. In addition they have opportunities to give oral presentations at domestic and international conferences, with travel fees supported by Chuo University. Almost 90% of the alumni and alumnae become scientists or engineers at private companies or public organizations.

We welcome you to join our department and look forward to advancing chemistry together.

About us"Information and System Engineering" is one of the multi-disciplinary areas

of research that quantifies or qualifies respective events, formulates or regularizes problems into forms that are processable on computers, describes required information processing with computer codes, and inherits to develop the technology of designing, building, and operating high-performance information systems efficiently.

For this purpose, the faculty members in the Department of Information and System Engineering (ISE) are all active researchers in the domains of social information, visual information, mathematical information, intelligent information, and life information, which are covered by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) and the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM).

In particular, the department offers an original series of classes “Software Project on CG, VR, and Image Processing 1-4” that takes a practical approach to cultivating IT engineers who can create advanced 3D contents concerning computer graphics (CG), virtual reality (VR), and image processing. These have the potential to appear in next-generation games through project-based learning (PBL) that provides undergraduate students with a strong incentive for learning through teamwork in software development, an approach that is common in information and system engineering.
